In Tel Aviv, people gathered at the “Square of the Kidnapped” (Kikar Hahatufim) to mark the 200th day since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip and the kidnapping of Israelis by Hamas terrorists during the October 7 invasion.
Survivors of the Nova Festival massacre, relatives of abductees and residents of evacuated border areas gathered on a stage near the Museum of Fine Arts. They are ready to share their experience and answer questions from the audience in a panel discussion format.
In the morning, a flash mob took place near the Habima theater, in which 200 people applied red paint to their palms and lay down on the asphalt, and in the middle was a banner with the inscription “Hostages remain in Gaza.” The organizers were the niece of the kidnapped Ofer Calderon, Ifat, together with the Family Headquarters.
They said the purpose of the performance was to demonstrate that time was running out to free the abductees and that every day without a deal meant a death sentence. The protesters emphasized that without the return of the abducted, the state is deprived of its right to exist.
And the morning in the square: 200 people. 200 days. Presentation 200 days to the kidnapping, led by Yifat Calderon and kidnapped families.

Earlier, Kursor wrote that on Saturday, March 30, Tel Aviv turned into an arena of civil protest, when thousands of people took to the streets. They carried their banners and voices, expressing dissatisfaction with the current government and demanding early elections. However, their protest was not limited to politics: they also demanded the return of those abducted.
In addition, Cursor has already written that hundreds of people gathered for a rally in Caesarea to express their disagreement with the current government and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
